Sui Yan spent his entire life, working hard for many years, to vindicate his master.
Unexpectedly, in the end, his master gave him a glass of poisoned wine and he died tragically in a deserted courtyard.
After he died, Sui Yan found that he had returned to his youth. Revenge and ab*se…
Huh? What? No revenge or ab*se?
Sui Yan: I think it’s good to laze around and enjoy life

He Jingtong, a dedicated unfortunate soul who literally embodied the saying "sacrifice blood and sweat," had always been the embodiment of bad luck before discovering one shocking truth: he’s the protagonist of a hot-blooded manga.
After uncovering the truth, He Jingtong decides to "disguise" himself as the quintessential tragic yet beautiful anti-hero:
Stunningly attractive, immensely powerful, but tragically doomed.
A tender soul who always loses the things he cherishes most.
Torn between madness and rationality, struggling not to hurt others while enduring the emotional storm within.
Online manga forums are in uproar:
“Why does He Jingtong always miss out on happiness? It’s so unfair!”
“That one panel where he hesitated and trusted someone before being betrayed—pure heartbreak!”
“Why is his life so tragic?! I’m crying!”
However, behind the scenes, He Jingtong manipulates events masterfully, leading every character who wronged him to their doom. To him, this fictional world is nothing but a façade.
But can he find something real within the falsehood?
Perhaps in the growing waves of "unjustified tragedy" posts flooding forums...
Or maybe through the System’s promise:
“When manga popularity reaches one billion, you may break the fourth wall.”
He Jingtong: smiling.jpg
Reading Notes:
The protagonist is a calculating, self-aware anti-hero who’s convinced of his own "normalcy."
Background includes supernatural themes with a personal twist (I-style supernatural).
An intricately plotted, forum-style psychological exploration of a tragic anti-hero flipping the script.
One-Liner: A self-aware manga protagonist takes control of his destiny and discovers unexpected truths within his own fictional world.

【Fake history, don’t take it seriously. 】
That year, Duke Wei returned to the capital from his northern patrol and brought back tens of thousands of captives.
In the rusty iron cage filled with stains, the Ninth Prince Zhou Huaiyan saw the little foreigner for the first time.
Black curly hair, pale green eyes, and scars of wounds strung together like beads. Although he was extremely afraid, he still bared his fangs fiercely.
His appearance looked very much like the long-haired cat he once had.
On a whim, Zhou Huaiyan took the person in, brought him back, washed him clean, and kept him by his side to admire his beauty.
The young man gently caressed his beautiful green eyes,
“From now on, you’ll be called Ah Fei.”
But no one expected that many years later, Ah Fei would become the only king of a different surname in the Zhou Dynasty, with great and impressive military exploits, shocking the land under heaven.
At that time, the emperor was old, sick, and weak, and his princes suddenly died one after another.
The king with a different surname seemed to have the intention of usurping the throne, leaving everyone’s hearts in the royal court and the court of law panicking.
The imprisoned Zhou Huaiyan sighed——
The unscrupulous indulgence of his youth has now become the most shameful past for this God of War.
Maybe he will be the one who dies the most tragically among the princes.
But in the end, Zhou Huaiyan didn’t expect that the ice-cold blade he had been waiting for did not come, rather, it was the imperial jade seal with all the bloodstains washed away.
“Master……”
The tall and beautiful foreign man crawled at his feet, looking as obedient and attached as a cat.
“Touch this s*ave, please…”
——
Everyone in the court and the commons knows that the king with a different surname who is now in power was just a lowly s*ave for Zhou Huaiyan to play with.
“So this is how you take revenge on me,”
The young man in the golden cage raised his head and gazed at the foreign man’s bulging belly with complicated eyes.
“By locking me up just to get you pregnant?”

One-sentence introduction: Peerless beauty gong
Su Ning, a behind-the-scenes genius in the entertainment industry, known as the “golden touch,” unexpectedly transmigrates into an entertainment novel as a spoiled, throwaway character.
Good News: He’s a top-tier agent in his original life, so his skills are a perfect match for his new role. Upon transmigrating, he immediately finds employment as an agent.
Bad News: He didn’t catch the protagonist’s name and has no idea who it is.
The only snippet he remembers from the novel’s summary is that it’s a tragic, no-romance entertainment story with a bleak ending. The main character is an unlucky talent who suffers from sabotage, betrayal, and ultimately dies in sorrow. In short, it’s heartbreaking.
According to the typical transmigration rules, a miserable protagonist like this needs rescuing by a transmigrated character like Su Ning.
Determined Su Ning: Whatever, if I can’t figure out who the protagonist is, I’ll just save everyone I meet and see what happens.
On his first day, Su Ning quickly rescues a pitiful young trainee who’s being bullied. The kid is obedient, adorable, hardworking, and, most importantly, pitiful.
Su Ning decides to take him under his wing. Raising the protagonist? Think of the bragging rights!
However, Su Ning has chosen the wrong target. The real protagonist was already reborn at the start of the novel.
Shen Mingzheng is the estranged son of the Shen family, who was only found as an adult. Now, reborn, he’s back with a dark ambition. He knows this world is a th**ny, corrupt place, especially the ruthless entertainment industry where everyone is out for themselves. His goal is to use every advantage to climb his way to the top, eventually taking over as head of the Shen family.
From day one, Shen Mingzheng realizes that Su Ning’s “soul” has been swapped. He then watches, bemused, as the newly-arrived Su Ning promptly rescues a character destined to become an all-powerful villain and proceeds to treat this “disguised carnivorous plant” like a harmless kitten.
Shen Mingzheng: …So weird. Better keep watching…
The more he watches, the more intrigued he becomes. So he promptly hijacks the marriage alliance initially set for the Su and Shen families and becomes Su Ning’s contract “husband.”
His initial plan is simple: leverage this “interesting” person to help him climb even higher. But this “family” setup soon proves more complicated than he anticipated.
For some reason, Su Ning seems to attract every troubled artist in the industry—idol trainees robbed of resources, actors hidden away in obscurity, unlucky singers—all damaged and th**ny individuals who grew up in darkness. Su Ning, however, handles them all as if they’re just scrappy little kittens needing a gentle pet.
“Don’t worry,” Su Ning says. “I’m here.”
In time, these struggling actors win awards, the once-overlooked idol rockets to stardom, and the discouraged singer’s new release tops the charts for months. Known as the rising stars of the entertainment industry, they publicly express in awards speeches that the greatest salvation in their lives was Su Ning.
And to Shen Mingzheng, Su Ning becomes his one and only salvation as well.
So, being the “stepdad” to a pack of deceptively sweet, secretly scheming little monsters—at least when they’re in front of Su Ning—doesn’t seem all that hard to bear.
Summary:
• MC: A transmigrated, clueless “fatherly” character who raises supposed “protagonists” but mistakes villains as lovable sidekicks.
• ML: The true protagonist, a dark, reborn mastermind who’s captivated by the MC’s peculiar charms.
In the final battle, Marshal Chen Wei heroically sacrificed his life. The Chen family was engulfed in flames, and his subordinates risked everything to save one of the Omega twins—the elder brother.
Eighteen Years Later
The elder brother, raised in the ivory tower, is refined and aloof. As the only heir of the Marshal, he is betrothed to the Crown Prince. However, the cold and distant pair have no sparks between them. Even their pheromones are indifferent to one another. Words like “superficial harmony” and “dreams apart in the same bed” seem tailor-made to describe their future marriage.
Meanwhile, the younger twin, rescued by a loyal servant in the underground city, has grown into the most alluring socialite. Every Alpha in the underground longs for a night with him, their jealousy simmering as they wait for someone’s wife to tear apart that stunningly beautiful face.
One Day, the Twins Reunite.
On a whim, the elegant prince’s consort dons a revealing backless outfit to visit the underground, while the flamboyant younger twin dresses in pristine robes and enters the ivory tower.
At dinner, the Crown Prince sits stoically across from his future consort, suddenly feeling an unfamiliar foot brushing his leg under the table, teasingly stroking it. The youth across from him props his chin on his hand, watching the prince’s every expression with lively, sparkling eyes.
That night, for the first time, they catch a whiff of each other’s pheromones.
In the Underground City
A gang of thugs, with ill intentions, gets slapped senseless and forced to the ground by an overwhelming spiritual force. The youth’s provocative attire contrasts sharply with the nobility in his every movement and glance.
An Alpha, exuding charm but clearly up to no good, asks with a smirk, “May I invite you to dinner?”
The penniless elder brother hesitates for a moment before gently placing his hand in the Alpha’s palm. “Your honor.”
Everyone assumes that the marriage between the Crown Prince and the Marshal’s son will inevitably fall apart due to their lack of pheromone compatibility. Young nobles eagerly sharpen their claws, dreaming of replacing him as the Crown Prince’s consort.
Yet, this same Marshal’s son—inseparably close to the prince and making others fail miserably at every turn—baffles them.
Younger Brother:
“When I was tearing apart green tea b*tches and white lotus frauds in the underground, you lot were still crying in the corner. And this? This isn’t even enough to amuse me!”
No one expected the supposed “useless” Alpha, cast out by his family, to have built an empire in the underground city. By his side stands a cold yet dignified youth whose overwhelming spiritual pressure inspires submission in all who meet them.
Underground Residents:
“What?! The flirtatious social butterfly turned out to be a ruthless, unstoppable king?!”
Double Couples:
• Dramatic / Carefree CEO / Optimistic x Emotionally Reserved / Cold and Distant / Fragile Doll (so to speak)
(An innocent duo trying to make ends meet)
• Repressed / Jealous Drama King x Scheming Top-Tier Green Tea Mastermind
(An emotional rollercoaster of morally ambiguous masterminds)
The ancient sword, Changge of the State of Yan was disturbed by graverobbers and turned into a human form. He then entered modern society and had a hard time.
What’s an ID card? What’s a bank card? Why was it that when he pawned the sword tassel from his own body he was treated as a reseller of cultural relics?
Not to mention, the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth is too thin to cultivate with. Yan Changge was facing a crisis of insufficient spiritual energy and risked being transformed back into an evil weapon and sent to a museum for exhibition with his sword tassel. Yan Changge, who is unwilling to kill people and cultivate the demonic way, can only accrue merits to maintain his human form.
So, this is a story about an evil weapon with evil spirits doing good deeds in modern society.
The person benefiting from said good deeds: Mom! He’s so scary! Is he going to kidnap me?!

Q: How do you cosplay as someone's close friend, sibling, relative, or even them right in front of them?
A: 0829: Thanks for the invite. I recommend using the card system and enjoying the thrill of being scammed and the joy of world consciousness suddenly assigning you new tasks mid-mission.
This is the story of an unlucky soul who signed a contract with a system and embarked on an endless journey through various worlds, constantly tricked into playing roles.
Notes:
The story is about 200,000 words and is completed.
The system has a low presence and only occasionally appears. You can treat it as an alternative cosplay transmigration story, with characters referred to by the roles they play in each world.
OOC (out of character) moments will happen—apologies for being inexperienced.
The title was chosen randomly; this is essentially a gacha card-based story.

Reader Notes: A pure and sweet lighthearted novel. The inclusion of imperial exams is fabricated purely for plot purposes and does not align with historical accuracy. If you prefer detailed realism, proceed cautiously!
An internet troll who wanted attention, the reader criticized his favorite web novel, saying: “The protagonist is dumb and the author is s*upid.”
Author: “…Got it.”
Unfortunately for him, the author actually listened to his (troll) feedback. The formerly lighthearted tale of a cute harem master suddenly became super dark and edgy. The reader could only helplessly look on as the protagonist was ab*sed and betrayed, finally embarking on the road to becoming completely evil. Everything was a mess!
After that the reader transmigrated into a strange world. How come the person in front of him looks like the protagonist (evil undead version)? Just what is going on?!
Note: Du Zhe (读者 meaning Reader) and Du Ze (杜泽 the character’s name) sound almost the same
